From this (although I’d already been working for awhile when I remembered to take a picture, it was definitely worse):
to this (note that Dillingham is no longer swimming in algae-infested waters):
And, even though this wasn’t on Friday, Thursday night, I repotted four plants, including this one, my newest addition from the Country Cupboard. The Country Cupboard is where I always stop on the way to and from Lisa’s. It’s about 1/2 way and they have a wonderful greenhouse. So on the way up, I get out, use their beautifully clean bathroom, relax in the greenhouse, and plan which plant I’m going to buy. On the way back, I repeat the routine, except that I buy the plant! Most of my plants come from there, including the baby tears in the corn sack picture. My new plant is a streptocarpella. Kristen has had one for at least five years and it just keeps on flowering almost year round. So I’m hoping that mine will do the same!
I haven’t seen streptocarpella in a long time. Yes, it’s beautiful. I bought a hanging basket of it back in the Shady Dell days, and loved it in the shade. Didn’t know it could be brought inside as a houseplant – I’ll try to find some here. Pretty Baby’s Tears too.
I still have the cornsacks you made for our family waaaaay back – and they still work great – no mold apparently grows in them. As a matter of fact, I still warm my tootsies with one on cold winter nights, as well as treat stiff necks and chest congestion. So – thanks again!
The Country Cupboard looks like – well, perfect. Maybe sometime I’ll enjoy it in person.
i am so excited to have plants!! hopefully i won’t kill them to repetitively! 🙂
